Sine Qua Non Eleven Confessions Grenache 2020 - Flask Fine Wine & Whisky

Sine Qua Non Eleven Confessions Grenache 2020

Naturally you know - or you probably wouldn't read this - we are Grenache crazy. Grenache likes it warm and Grenache has to be ripe. This iteration is a combo of 82% Grenache 13.1% Syrah, 3.3% Petite Sirah and 1.6% WHITE (Gelber Muskateller)... Gorgeous, beautifully dark (quite dark for Grenache) color and deep, aromatic...almost loud, elegant bouquet and outrageously rich, lush, fabulously seductive palate with amazing length.

Critical Acclaim

100 Jeb Dunnuck

The 2020 Grenache Eleven Confessions Vineyard is another absolutely heavenly wine from this estate, and it's easily one of the top wines from California in 2020. Darker berries, tapenade, roasted herbs, and a bloody, iron-like character define the aromatics, and it hits the palate with full-bodied richness, a deep, stacked mid-palate, velvety tannins, and a great, great finish. It reminds me of a Châteauneuf du Pape from the likes of Jean-Paul Daumen and is a tour de force in Grenache that I wish every reader could taste. Coming from a hot growing season, this beauty is powerful and full throttle, yet like all of Manfred's wines, it holds onto a sense of purity, balance, and elegance that's something to behold. Drink bottles any time over the coming two decades. The blend is 82% Grenache, 13% Syrah, 3% Petite Sirah, and the rest Gelber Muskateller, fermented with 27% whole clusters, and aged 38 months in 41% new French oak.

98 Vinous

Another stellar wine in this range, the 2020 Grenache Eleven Confessions Vineyard is every bit as compelling as it was from barrel. A wine of exquisite aromatic presence and nuance, the 2020 is all class. It shows all the natural richness that is such a signature here while retaining gorgeous, open-knit aromatics that resonate off a rich core of fruit. Raspberry and pomegranate open first, followed by exotic, tropical fruit accents that build in the glass. This is such a distinctive wine shaped by a touch of Gelber Muskateller in the blend that adds flair. The blend is 82% Grenache, 12.1% Syrah, 3.3% Petite Sirah and 1.6% Gelber Muskateller, all from Eleven Confessions.
